State Planning and Establishment Grants for the Affordable Care Act's Exchanges - New York State has started the evaluation and planning process necessary to establish a Health Benefit Exchange (Exchange) that will meet the requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Major goals for the initial planning year are to: 1) compile and evaluate background research from current research platforms and private funding by January 2011; 2) engage stakeholders in the evaluation, planning and development process throughout the one-year planning period; 3) evaluate the extent to which New York can integrate and build on existing programs, as appropriate; 4) identify and utilize existing resources and capabilities, as appropriate, throughout the one-year planning period and determine need for additional resources; 5) design Exchange governance structure and draft legislation, if required; 6) evaluate financial accounting, auditing, and reporting requirements and potential pathways to securing compliance; 7) identify existing technical infrastructure resources
